Witnesses have described the offenders as youngsters, and it is likely that some individuals are multiple offenders. Incidents include setting small fires, climbing over rooves, banging on doors in an aggressive manor, ripping up signage and vandalism in the Orchard. These have been reported to Kidlington TVP who have said they will try and do some patrols. Anyone witnessing threatening ASB should contact Police on 101 at the time. GT/JH saw the local PCSO who has spoken to two youths that had been identified. An article has been written for the November Village News. A resident concerned about speeding traffic on the A44 contacted TVP who told her speeding was a council issue, not theirs. All agreed we should try to get speed cameras on the A44 when possible. Kidlington Police Forum meeting in September 2020 was conducted on Microsoft Teams. Focus continues to be on Speeding, Fraud and ASB – but still needs further defining Community Emergency Plan [email protected] and the need for one to be in place was mentioned. 9) Schools: The Governors of William Fletcher School have written to OCC asking if it’s possible to put double yellow lines on Rutten Lane near the school. 10a) Planning Applications: 20/02507/F 1 Field Close – First floor side extension. 20/02600/F 118 Rutten Lane – Single storey extension to the rear of the property.

Comments required to compile a YPC response. Consultation closure date is 26th October. KJ/GT/DT/DB meeting Merton College reps virtually on 19th October SKANSKA included YPC in a consultation exercise related to changes along the A44 between Turnpike roundabout and Pear Tree roundabout. The plan includes introduction of a southbound bus lane alongside two traffic lanes. A report has been compiled and sent. 11) Emergency Management Plan: Nothing to report. 12) Highway Matters & Public Rights of Way: Speed Indicator Devices: Rutten Lane southbound traffic: 29268 records - 56% vehicles in excess of 30mph, 14% vehicles in excess of 35mph, 2 vehicles in excess of 55mph, one of these at approx. 9.00AM 1 vehicle in excess of 60mph. Rutten Lane northbound traffic: 28,487 records - 16% vehicles in excess of 30mph, < 2% vehicles in excess of 35mph, 1 vehicle in excess of 50mph. The figures between the two SIDs compare well suggesting both devices are working correctly. Approx 3 out of 4 vehicles travel in excess of the speed limit in Rutten Lane. Flooding: KJ & GT attended Paternoster Farm (Temple Bookbinders) on the morning of Sunday 4th October following a report of flooding. It was clear that the open and tunnelled stream (Kings Brook) had not coped with the volume of surface water during and after heavy rain. Significant silt and debris build up needs to be cleared. JH also reported internal drain issues that occur at times of heavy rain when balancing ponds in the area fill. Issues reported The area is already under investigation related to foul water drainage issues. YPC have been trying to find out who’s responsible for Kings Brook for several years. A few weeks ago Chris Grain from OCC said they were responsible but his email last week said that his Drainage Engineer had said “Anything on the verge side of that brook is OCC responsibility but the brook itself is maintained by adjacent land owner. We will be responsible for the section that is crossing the road but the section running by the side is definitely land owner responsibility even if is within our boundary.’ Chris Grain has found out from Land Records office that the brook is unregistered land which he says is unusual. He’s trying to get OCC to do the clearance work but as money is tight OCC will be doing further checks on the possibility of CDC/adjacent landowner being responsible. Carriageway maintenance and improvement work taking place in The Paddocks this week. Network Rail survey currently has 1917 online signatures and 81 on paper. Network Rail has offered to attend one of our meetings. We’re still waiting for them to tell us dates for drop-in sessions. All agreed to invite them to our November meeting. 59/2020 13) Village Hall: Work inside the entrance hall seems to be done except for painting, invoices not yet received. 14) Environmental Matters including Orchard and Airport: We’ve now found out that Mike Sparrow left the airport in February. James Dillon-Godfray has temporarily been allocated responsibility for local liaison. Ian will email him to ask about a date for a liaison meeting. Latest correspondence from Thames Water on 5th October included “we are unable to confirm if the Foul Water Sewer (FWS) has collapsed, we need to get clear camera footage to be able to confirm the condition of it and will know more once we’ve been able to survey the section of sewer. We’re confident the FWS is currently operating as it should be as we’ve not received any recent reports of flooding. We’ve got no plans to upgrade or relay the sewer in Yarnton. However, we’ll of course make the council aware of any concerns we may have about any building applications we’re aware of in the area. We can of course impose conditions, if we feel a new sewer connection will cause detriment to our network” Two trees in the orchard still need replacing. FM needs to talk to Matthew Rudge before planting wildflowers in the orchard. 15) Playing Fields: We have suffered twice more (21st and 29th September) with vandalism in Rutten Lane Park, now involving other residents’ property. The ROSPA Reports have been carried out at both parks, with remedial work required at both parks, this has been organised and will be carried out in the near future. The PFMC have managed (with a lot of effort) to gain Government Business Grants for both areas amounting to £20,000. A meeting has been held to discuss how this should be spent and quotes are to be arranged and brought back to a second meeting on the 26th October. The quotes are mostly for maintenance required and to pay some of the amounts owed. Another quote has been received for CCTV at Rutten Lane Park. YPFMC have agreed to pay some towards this. If installed it would be as a deterrent, monitoring would only be carried out by two people (parish councillors). All were happy in principal with installing this. The metal container has been removed from Rutten Lane Park. 16) Youth Provision: Nothing to report. 17) Burial Ground/St Bartholomew’s Churchyard: Nothing to report. 18) Finance and General Purpose including website: The monthly financial report for September as page 57/2020 previously circulated was proposed KJ, seconded DT, agreed by all to be a true record and will be signed by GT together with Bank statements for Barclays Community acct 27th August – 16th September (now closed), Business acct 29th August – 29th September and Unity Accounts to 30th September. A grant request from Cherwell Larder for £2900 as Yarnton’ s portion of operating costs through to September 2021 was discussed at length resulting in 5 in favour of donating £450 now, 4 abstained.

  • I Understand from a Notice Circulated to My Mothers Home in Park Close Yarnton That an Application Has Been Made by Oxford Prog
    1 Appendix 4 From: MARTIN GILBERT To: Licensing Subject: Application for a new premises licence at Yarnton Manor Date: 06 July 2015 19:17:51 I understand from a notice circulated to my Mothers home in Park Close Yarnton that an application has been made by Oxford Programs Ltd for a new premises licence under the Licencing Act 2003 for Yarnton Manor in Church Lane Yarnton. The provision of entertainment in the form of Indoor and outdoor films, live and recorded music plus also the provision of late night refreshments and alcohol till 3.00am This is unacceptable. The site is only some 300 meters from Park Close which is a sheltered housing complex where old and vulnerable people live. These residents will be greatly disturbed by loud music and possibly frightened by loud and drunk people at 3.00am Also the vehicle noise could be a big problem to these residents in the early hours of the morning. These activities are obviously designed to draw in large crowds of people. The lane to reach these premises is very narrow and not suitable for heavy traffic. Has The Manor adequate parking facilities? Has anyone stopped to consider these retired residents and the impact it will have on the rest of the village. I therefore object on behalf of my mother, who is 100 years old and registered blind. Martin Gilbert 2 Appendix 4 From: Ruth Astall To: Licensing Subject: Application for a new premises Licence for Oxford Programs Ltd at Yarnton Manor Church Lane Yarnton OX5 1PY Date: 23 June 2015 11:46:44 As a resident of Yarnton, I wish to raise the following objections to the above application: Church Lane, which leads to Yarnton Manor, is very narrow and only has footpaths for some of its length.

    Bodicote House Bodicote Banbury Oxfordshire OX15 4AA www.cherwell.gov.uk 31 July 2017 Cherwell District Council Community Governance Review 2017 – Possible change in the number of Parish Councillors in some parishes Cherwell District Council is carrying out a Community Governance Review. This is the process that allows the Council to make changes to parishes, such as parish boundaries and numbers of parish councillors. Five parish councils contacted Cherwell District Council, to ask for a review of their number of parish councillors. A working group of district councillors considered the requests, and made recommendations to full Council on 17 July 2017. Councillors agreed all of the recommendations and this is your opportunity to comment. Fritwell Parish Council Fritwell Parish Council contacted Cherwell District Council and requested that consideration be given to increasing the number of councillors for the parish from six to seven. The justification for the request is the increase in electorate during the 1990s, when significant development took place within the parish. The last parish election for Fritwell was held in 2015, and there were seven candidates for the six seats. The electorate for Fritwell on 1 December 2016 (annual publication of the new Electoral Register) was 548. Guidance from the National Association of Local Councils (NALC) recommends a parish council of seven where the electorate is up to 900. On this basis, the recommendation is that number of parish councillors be increased by one so there would be seven parish councillors from the next scheduled election in Fritwell in 2019. Stratton Audley Stratton Audley Parish Council contacted Cherwell District Council and requested that consideration be given to increasing the number of councillors for the parish from five to seven.

  • Two Saxon Cemeteries in North Oxfordshire
    Two Saxon Cemeteries in North Oxfordshire By E. T. LEEDS N 1928 and 1930 occasion offered itself for the exploration of two Anglo­ I Saxon cemeteries in the north of the county, the first at North Leigh, the second at Chadlington. No full account of these investigations has since been published, though a brief notice has appeared in the Anglo-Saxon section of the recently published first volume of the Victoria History of Oxfordshire (pp. 357-60). The present lull in active field-work presents an opportunity to issue a fuller report of the discoveries then made, even though it involves some repetition of what has already been written in the Victoria History. An additional reason, if such be needed, is the scarcity of Anglo-Saxon cemeteries north of Oxford. Before these two cemeteries came to light, the only ones known consisted of graves at Hornton, Lower Heyford, Souldern and Yarnton. All were small groups; none was richly furnished, and in nearly all cases the records are quite summary. As has been remarked in the Victoria History, north Oxfordshire seems to have be~n widely, but sparsely occupied in early Anglo­ Saxon days. It is all the more important, therefore, to publish as full accounts as possible of any cemeteries that have been examined in recent times. NORTH LEIGH (O.S. 6 in., 26 SW) For initial information about this cemetery thanks are due to Miss Mason (now Mrs. Wickham Steed) of Eynsham Hall, who submitted for inspection certain objects which had been found by Mr. Brown of North Leigh when quarrying in a field on the north side of the road to Wileot, immediately south of the lane leading to Holly Court Farm.
